I spoke with Mike Mulshine yesterday for a few minutes as he was heading to a meeting so I couldn't catch up to much. I had been in Florida for most of the last month and wanted to discuss some things. However Ron Blackburn did return my call yesterday afternoon .. I ran these numbers by him that he had given me regarding the shares about a week before I left. They were 446,560,260 with about 200,000,000 in borkerage accts and approx 90,000,000 of those in the accts of PBLS Employee's like himself. He said those numbers were just pretty right on but went on to say they have having a "accounting" with the TA about exactly what is out there and the findings( next week) would in all probablity be available to shareholders via a company announcement. I'll be the hundredeth to reiterate his or Paul's comments that the rev's are exploding but more than the generic comment to that end I also agree it would be nice to see it broken down into segments and specic's. In closing he told me to stay tuned next week for THE NEWS. I have no Idea what THE NEWS is the emphasis was mentioned after I told him I had almost doubled my position recently at these prices and he seemed thrilled to let me know next week would make me a satisfied shareholder. I am of the "I'll believe when I see it" attitude right now . The future of the company IMO will take some time to completely gestate with that in mind I am not going to be concerned about the interim action until this company has had time to assimilate some of the incredible changes in business priority as a result of Katrina. For Instance when they mentioned buying a couple of swimming pool repair company's around Detroit I thought " what the hell is that about" Now that same acquisition could be working 24 hours a day for years with the repairs just in the New Orleans area and I think some of the other segments have the same increase in potential need for their services....the caveat is they haven't proven anything to me yet though..
